As hundreds of thousands of Indian farmers charge ahead with their monthslong protests of new agricultural laws on the outskirts of New Delhi, the movement has spilled over to the internet.

Like on the ground where police have arrested at least eight journalists and dozens of demonstrators , the Indian government is attempting to silence dissent online.

Canadian federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh described the situation to talk show host Lilly Singh on Tuesday, farmers are just asking for their rights. By asking for their rights theyre being labelled as terrorists. Theyre being considered disloyal to the country. There is a very violent and suppressive and oppressive climate created by the Indian state and by the police.
